If you keep the boat in the water it is a different game -
Do I follow you here, a rated epoxie primer followed by the rated paint? Where could you get immersion rated paints? Do manufacturers such as DuPont, PPG, or others have them? Or are they specialty companies? |
There are many paint manufacturers that have "immersion" quality primer and paints. Don't be scared of the word "rated".
"good for" could be substituted.......lol!! ICI Devoe, International Paints, along with many others have several Heavy Industrial submersible paints available.....that perform well under constant submersion.....stay away from the spray bombs. |
And the other thing to remember is to never topcoat epoxy primer with a single stage paint...there is not enough strength in single stage paint to adhere to 2-part epoxies.
